One year before the Paris Olympic Games, the France Espoirs team came out the back door during the Euro. After the defeat against Ukraine, Sylvain Ripoll is always more in danger.
It was a scenario that no one saw coming, especially after Cherki’s opener, but in the end, Ukraine beat France (3-1) and the French side during the Euro Espoirs s is completed in the quarter-finals. A brutal failure which puts a little more pressure on the shoulders of Sylvain Ripoll whose record at the head of the young French internationals is largely insufficient. So one year before the Olympics in France, the future of the coach raises many questions, he who has often been said to be the protege of Noël Le Graët. For Vincent Duluc, the question of Ripoll’s departure must be asked now. ” The record of Sylvain Ripoll at the head of hopes over time is insufficient and this huge failure is worrying, even prohibitive, one year before the Olympics. It remains to be seen whether the change of president at the FFF can call it into question. “, made it clear the experienced journalist from L’Equipe.
Sylvain Ripoll in danger?
The record of Sylvain Ripoll at the head of hopes over time is insufficient and this huge failure is worrying, even prohibitive, one year before the Olympics. It remains to be seen whether the change of president at the FFF can call it into question.

Vincent Duluc is not the only one to ask this question about the Espoirs coach. ” New confirmation of past failures in Hopes under Ripoll: the chronicle of an announced disaster has once again been written before our eyes. After Chauvin’s U20s and the 2021 Olympic fiasco, we will have to decide to win “, Thus launched Jean-Baptiste Guégan, specialist in the geopolitics of sport and great connoisseur of football. For Romain Beddouk, journalist on France Bleu Paris, the FFF must now act: “To all the competitions we wonder how Sylvain Ripoll is going to boycott a generation full of talent and each time we are told that talent is enough. Never questioned. When will the FFF realize that football is a collective sport? “On the side of the French Football Federation, we clearly have ears whistling after this fiasco.
